Aside from the fact that the Dynasty Warriors series is missing a Halo-esque commentator to announce awesome achievements such as "Triple Knockout!", "Hextuple Hit Combo!", and "Lu Bootacular!", the one feature that would take this series over the top is an online experience.

I know PS2 On-line is rather weak, but next-gen consoles are going to be more on-line-enabled, so the possibilites are endless.

None of these features will make it into this game, though, as the core on-the-field gameplay will be almost exactly the same as Dynasty Warriors 5, save a few differences such as strongholds and enemy generals who re-spawn nineteen times.

And yes, I was kidding about the commentator. That would get annoying by the time your KO count reaches fifty and after the first time you use your musou in a group of weaklings.

When you realize you no longer need Neoseeker, you will leave as well.

Lets think about online for a second. Everyone picks a territory with their officers and whatnot. The flaw with that is 1. Orginization because theres so many players and 2. the time, it would take a HELL of a long time to finish a game. When one territory is attacking another, what will the others be doing? Waiting. Online play would be kinda pointless since it would basically be dueling because you and the other player are the only actual players. This is just my opinion.

Online capacilities would NOT work on Dynasty Warriors. Granted an online game based on Romance of the Three Kingdoms would be great, but KOEI should produce that under a diffrent title and leave "Dynasty Warriors" as a hack and slash.

Now I'm going to go ahead and agre with kakusei here, all Dynasty Warriors are the same. I've been playing since they moved to PS2. DW3, DW3:XL, DW4, DW4:Empire, DW4: XL, DW5, DW5:XL, SW. I didn't buying any expansions to Samurai Warriros, which is a terrible game btw, and I didn't get DW5:Empires. Which I hope means somethings. An adrent fan like myself has become bored of the series. SOMETHING has to change.

First of all: 30+ new characters. This would not be a difficult task at all. Cancel the XLs and the Empires, hold the game off an extra year and design chatacers. Because believe me you, there are at VERY LEAST 30 more characters in the novel that are worthy of being playable. I'm not going to klist them here, I've made that list far too many times over the past few years.

Second: New stages. I'm sick and tired of Lu Bu at Huo Lao Gate. There's NO SURPRISE. I know he's coming. i know my firts time aorund with no items or stats that he WILL beat my ass. I'm not saying they should remove levels but at least ADD new ones.

Third: Stray from the book. KOEI has already strayed pretty far: adding of girl characters, adding battles that weren't in the book but did occur in history, adding generals that are already dead to later battles,.... im sure fans woudlnt care if they jus starte dto make up stuff. I for one would be all for KOEI creating their own army and have them mix up events that we know occur. For exmaple one of the made up generals could be the one who beats LuBu and Huo Lao Gate.
